Live ScienceSunday, May 25, 2025 at 7:00:00 PM

Black holes are some of the most mysterious and extreme objects in the universe—cosmic vacuum cleaners with gravity so strong that not even light can escape. This article breaks down how they form (often from collapsing stars), what they’re like inside (a one-way ticket to spaghettification, apparently), and why scientists are obsessed with studying them.
Editor’s Note: Black holes aren’t just sci-fi fodder—they’re real, mind-bending phenomena that challenge our understanding of physics. Learning about them helps us grasp how the universe works, from galaxy formation to the very fabric of spacetime. Plus, who doesn’t love pondering the ultimate "what if?" scenario of falling into one?
